SPRAYER CLEANING AND STORAGE
Sprayer Cleaning
Immediately after each use of your Tomahawk Concrete Sprayer it is important to clean it
properly. Fill the solution tank of the sprayer with 2-3 gallons of water. Start the engine and
proceed to spray the water into a waste receptacle. Routine cleaning will help to clean out the
sprayers pump, hoses, and spraying attachments while reducing the chances of the system
clogging.
DO NOT use Xylene or any explosive chemical in the cleaning process. This
concrete sprayer is meant for use with water-based or waterborne compounds
only. Do not spray solvent-based or explosive liquids with this sprayer. Failure
to comply may cause serious bodily harm or death.
Sprayer Storage
For long-term storage of the sprayer, first perform all regular maintenance procedures and
needed repairs. Empty the fuel tank. Disconnect the fuel supply line from the carburetor and
depress the primer bulb until fuel stops discharging from the fuel-return line. Start the engine
and allow it to run until it stops. Pull the starter cord a few times to remove any excess fuel from
the engine. Remove the spark plug and insert a small amount of oil into the cylinder. Slowly pull
the starter cord and bring the piston to a position closest to the spark plug hole. Re-install the
spark plug. Apply a thin coating of oil to all the metal surfaces and store the duster in a dry
place.
